I don't know of any comparison in the DEGREE of safety between front seat and
rear seat for the child seat.  (Lots of seats. :-)  But here's my understanding
of the rules, in order of importance:

	1.  Always use the child seat.  ALWAYS!
	2.  Face it backwards.  (It's worth noting that this is also the safest
	    position for the adults, too, but it's not socially acceptable, so
	    cars aren't made this way.  No cute jokes about the driver.)
	3.  Put it in the rear seat.  (Also safer for adults.)
	4.  Make it snug.

The Century is difficult to adjust.  Grin and bear it.
